Hi Venci,
I tried UR coding, its with no errors and complied fine with the print dialog box shown.But the content is not written to the frame.
The drawString does not work.Is it possible to direct the dos based application to direct to printing?
please help me out!!!!!!!!!!

in the line:
pj.getGraphics().drawString("This is a test!", 10, 10);
the coordinates (10, 10) are not in the printable area. Sorry for this, but I haven't tried it.
I tried now with (200, 200) coordinates:
pj.getGraphics().drawString("This is a test!", 200, 200);
and the text was printed.

Regarding the DOS printing - yes it is possible, but I don't recomend it to you. The way is to redirect the output of your application to the printer:
my_app.bat > LPT1
or
type my_file.txt > LPT1

Venci,
Thanx for ur due help over the above.
But iam slightly confused with dos mode print of specifying the file to printer because i store my contents in bufferreader and not in a file.
can i still print out?
